Rising Damp Preston

Rising Dampness is dampness rising from the ground within the wall structure. When properties are constructed a damp proof course is generally installed. Over time some of these systems break down or are compromised allowing rising damp to occur. This dampness can result in spoiled decoration, loss of heating and can lead to the development of fungal decay.

When a property has a damp or rot problem it can eventually cause structural problems leading to what could be very costly to fix. Identifying and solving the problem before it’s too late is inevitably the sensible option.

Below are other damp problems that can arise in a property as well as rising damp:

Wet Rot (Moisture in Timber)

Wet rot is a result of timbers being subjected to moisture over a period of time. Wet rot can have many causes but it is always as a result of exposure to some form of dampness and excessive moisture. Correct inspection and a thorough survey will ensure the source of the moisture so we can eradicate the problem one and for all.

Dry Rot (Fungal Growth in Timber)

In most cases when dry rot is discovered it has usually already caused significant damage to the timbers. It is therefore extremely important to seek specialist inspection and treatment to find the cause of the problem and eradicate it for good.

Woodworm (Wood Boring Beetle Infestation)

There are various different species of wood-boring beetles but they all have one thing in common – to destroy timber.
